    TLDR Vitamin D3 ointment improved skin bumps on the chin but didn't give lasting results after stopping use.
    The document reports on a case of follicular keratosis of the chin, a condition characterized by keratotic follicular papules on the chin and jaw, which is attributed to prolonged pressure and friction on the skin. The study involved a single patient who underwent dermatoscopic examination, revealing well-demarcated yellow spindle bodies within the lesion. Treatment with 1.24R‐dihydroxyvitamin D3 ointment was found to be effective during the period of application, but it did not provide lasting benefits after the treatment was discontinued.
